This book outlines various synthetic approaches, tuneable physical
properties, and device applications of core/shell quantum dots
(QDs). Core/shell QDs have exhibited enhanced quantum yield (QY),
suppressed photobleaching/blinking, and significantly improved
photochemical/physical stability as compared to conventional bare
QDs. The core-shell structure also promotes the easy tuning of QDs'
band structure, leading to their employment as attractive building
blocks in various optoelectronic devices. The main objective of
this book is to create a platform for knowledge sharing and
dissemination of the latest advances in novel areas of core/shell
QDs and relevant devices, and to provide a comprehensive
introduction and directions for further research in this growing
area of nanomaterials research.
The increased demand due to anthropogenic activity leads to
emerging contaminants, resulting in a substantial environmental
hazard. The long-term presence and exposure of contaminants lead to
severe negative impacts on the environment, humans, and other life
forms. Hence, emerging contaminants in the environment is a
worldwide concern, and new technologies to mitigate these
contaminants are being developed. This book covers the source,
occurrence, toxicity, and detection techniques of a wide range of
emerging contaminants. This collection also discusses the scope and
applications of diverse techniques, including Bio/Phyto and
Nano-remediation technologies, to mitigate the emerging
contaminants; along with their sustainability issue and prospects.
As a result, this book appears to provide insight into several
modern and environmentally friendly waste management options, the
possibility to minimize and lessen the effects of contaminants, and
striving to lower toxicological endpoints to assure environmental
safety. This book delivers the most recent advancements by
prominent specialists in environmental sciences to academics,
researchers, students, and practitioners interested in the
identification and eradication of emerging pollutants from the
environment.
The Advanced Dairy Chemistry series was first published in four
volumes in the 1980s (under the title Developments in Dairy
Chemistry) and revised in three volumes in the 1990s and 2000s. The
series is the leading reference on dairy chemistry, providing
in-depth coverage of milk proteins, lipids, lactose, water and
minor constituents. Advanced Dairy Chemistry Volume 2: Lipids,
Fourth Edition, is unique in the literature on milk lipids, a broad
field that encompasses a diverse range of topics, including
synthesis of fatty acids and acylglycerols, compounds associated
with the milk fat fraction, analytical aspects, behavior of lipids
during processing and their effect on product characteristics,
product defects arising from lipolysis and oxidation of lipids, as
well as nutritional significance of milk lipids. In the years since
the publication of the third edition there have been significant
developments in milk lipids and these are reflected in changes to
this volume. Most topics included in the third edition are retained
in the current edition, which has been updated; in some cases, new
authors have given their perspective on certain topics. Chapters on
nutritional significance of dairy lipids have been considerably
revised.This authoritative work summarizes current knowledge on
milk lipids and suggests areas for further work. It will be very
valuable to dairy scientists, chemists and others working in dairy
research or in the dairy industry.
This book presents both established and emerging technologies which

This book presents the potential of bacterial cellulose in the
textile and fashion industry. Most of the earlier work on the
bacterial cellulose was focused on the bio technology application
of cellulose, but the recent urge for the need of a sustainable
material in the fashion and textile industries identified the scope
of the bacterial cellulose in this aspect. The unique feature of
this book is that it relates the bio technological aspects of
bacterial cellulose with the sustainable issues in the fashion
industry.
From cooking to medicine, from engineering to art, chemistry-the
science of molecules-is everywhere. A celebration of the molecules
of chemistry, Every Molecule Tells a Story celebrates the molecules
responsible for the experiences of everyday life: the air we
breathe; the water we drink; the chemicals that fuel our living;
the steroids that give us sex; the colours of the seasons; the
drugs that heal us; and the scented molecules that enrich our diet
and our encounters with each other. You can't see them, but you
know that they are there. Unveiling the structures of poisonous
"natural" substances and beneficial man-made molecules, this book
brushes away any preconceived notions about chemistry to
demonstrate why and how molecules matter.
